Review: Ever since they recruited powerhouse vocalist 'Mighty" May Johnston for some tracks on second album, Look Out, Watch Out, back in 2011, this raw and retro Aussie soul band have been slowly building up to this, their first proper album with Johnston at the helm. "Come Alive!" certainly does just that, boasting ten effervescent '60s / '70s indebted gems that don't mess about. We've been recently introduced to two tracks here ("Done Me Wrong", "Souls Come Alive") via a teaser single and boy, have they set the tone for this accomplished record by a group at their musical peak. Bravo.

Review: Following a two-year break, the Shaolin Afronauts return with their third album. Those who've checked the Adelaide-based eight-piece's previous releases on Freestyle Records should know what to expect: specifically horn-heavy instrumental wig-outs rooted in the Afrobeat of Africa 70 and the spiritual jazz of Sun Ra, with occasional forays into Cuban rhythms. It's a humid and intoxicating blend, capable of producing both righteous dancefloor fare - see the Fela Kuti style strut of "Follow The Path", "Lagos Chase" and Afro-cuban jazz of "Ojo Abameta - and intoxicating, more introspective fare (the snaking flutes and ambient textures of "Interlude 1" and heady "Abyssinian Suite (Part 1)").

Review: Now two albums in, Ross McHenry's Shaolin Afronauts are bigger than ever, and in anticipation of forthcoming third LP Follow The Path, they've rustled up a five-track preview EP, Ojo Abameta. There's three tunes culled from the album itself: the guitar twanging brass-out of the title track, the '70s martial arts flute fest of "Interlude 1" and the sombre jazz of "To The Water". We also get two bonus exclusives (not on the album) - the lilting Afrobeat jaunt "All Who Pass By" and the raucously retro freestlye funk of "Fe". Hot stuff!

Review: A two track sampler from the forthcoming album Music For Jazz Dancers, due in May on Freestyle. These two lesser known jazz dance classics come from the 'in the box' selections of DJs Adrian Gibson and Perry Louis, who have been running the Messin' Around London club session at Camden's legendary Jazz Cafe for 14 years. First track "Cherokee", by Peter Herbolzheimer's Rhythm Combination & Brass, is a storming version of Ray Noble's jazz standard with Dianne Reeves' vocal delivery reminding us of Ella Fitzgerald. Next up is "Kon Djab Djigidi'" from French pianist Mario Canonges, which is a full-on piano-led, Latin-tinged monster that'll have you attempting those back flips in your Spats before you know it!
